Just got back from Walmart stopped to take a peak at the Toy section and whoa. 9.97 Each no stands HBK is awful and will need a head swap for sure. City or state?

Shame about HBK & Sheamus' dwarf legs

I am not a fan of the modern guys in this line, but that Seamus is pretty neat. I will probably pick up Kurt Angle and Shawn Michaels for sure..... if Mattel gets their crap together and releases them here in the UK. I might even get Seamus as well as I think he is the star of the set to be honest with you.
I love Jericho, but that figure is the weak link of the set for me. They have shown that they are not scared to re-release characters quickly in this line so I will pass him up and hopefully they will have a more old school Y2J.
The lack of stands is awesome, I hated the price increase and the way they looked. However, there is something kind of bland about these cards. I am not sure what it is, but something is just a little off. Still I like three of the four figures and hopefully I can pick them up.

I’m hoping this new (old) price-point will be reflected in the prices the U.K. websites will charge when they become available...

Neat, now lets see new NXT Figures at Target so i can pay $150 to get a Black and a McIntyre off the Bay.
Side note, what is with Mattel's obsession with that ponytail HBK head? It's HORRIBLE, it's not accurate to any HBK figure so why do they keep using it? You have the Elite 3 style head which is accurate to his RA run so repaint that and use it...
Also, why the hell is his WM23 attire a Retro and not an Elite?

I am not sure what it is, but something is just a little off. Still I like three of the four figures and hopefully I can pick them up. They got the overall 'feel' of the original design, but it looks just like a very bland, static version of it. They need to make the line art version of the figure inside of a way more creative looking splash balloon for the action feature like the original Hasbro cards. Not just the boring looking, simple circle and photo. And the background where the figure is placed should have more of the gradient or air brush effect with the stars or some other little images like the WWE logo or something if they want to change it up a bit. I think the pattern they are using now is just too bland and cheap looking. Like someone just did something quick in MS Paint and called it a day.

Brickseek is showing in stock all around me but must still be in the back. I was there yesterday and they didn’t have anything but battlepacks out. Each of my stores is showing 8 on hand.

Glad they ditched the stands. 10 bucks a figure is where these things need to be priced at.

What Head is everyone gonna use for Shawn Michaels ? I bought this as soon as the Series 7 proto pics hit the internet. Retro Shawn looked like he was sniffin a smelly fart. This head is downstairs in a ziplock bag with 100 different custom heads and parts, so didnt feel like digging it out for a photo lol.

I hope places like Target follow suit with the better distribution we're supposed to get. At this point I'm gonna seriously be tempted to break someone's fingers if they put out another case of Series 3 lol.

I have like 4 of those HBK ponytail heads as fodder. So this is an easy fix. Still super annoying that’s not a 96-98 HBK. Glad these are $10 again. It makes a difference when you’re buying doubles.

I don’t know why I keep checking Brickseek every other hour. If this is anything like Harley I’ll still be looking in May.

Thing is, it's not just UK distribution. The distribution here in the states has been laughable as well.
